That's because there's no commandment requiring editing.
Think how much better off we'd be if there were.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Let me tell you how excited I was when Emmett's 2nd grade teacher introduced The Daily Edit into their course work.
That's right - every day the second graders were editing spelling and grammatical mistakes.

The Daily Show segment on the Rapturers also concerned a website that will send messages to your friends for you if you are Raptured. One of Colbert's more sublime works.
(I surmise that from this and his "This Week in God" regular feature religion is a topic near and dear to his heart much the way it is to Cindy.)

Nonian, i learned it the way you understand it (I am, etc...no other gods = Commandment #1) in CCD. However, the cantor told us that the first part is the first commandment and the "You shall have no other gods" part is the 2nd commandment. It was weird to me, but he was quite specific. Why we have these different readings of the text, I don't know.

Trust my rage
-t, it seems weird, but you are probably right. I considered looking it up again, but don't have the energy.
BTW, how's the baby coming along?

shrift worships porn. All hail the porn.
It occurs to me that to really get the most sin in, I ought to erect some shrines.
btw, shrift, how're you set for T.Rex?
Oh, I think I've got Room For More.
And now I'm realizing how terrible it is that I've got 962 songs loaded on my work iTunes and very few of them are glam. I ought to rectify that.

It's a fetus today! Woo-hoo!
Not that I can tell. At this point I just feel fat and tired and a little queasy. And hungry. I've already had three meals (it's 1pm for me) and I'm ready to eat again.
How's your dog-walking soreness? Better, I hope.

Emily, can you do rip it, burn it to a new cd, and then rip that?
This is from last night, so I'm sure nobody remembers or cares, but I thought I'd just update to clarify. I did try this, it being the recommended way to get around this kind of protection (even though it reduces quality), but the protection prohibits me from burning the songs. Isn't that freaking fantastic? I have one avenue left to try, but unfortunately this means getting together with Jen -- something I've been trying to do for its own sake for several months without success.
